If THIS video doesn't make you a little emotional

[Martin]

I'm human, I just don't share the military obsession that a lot of other people seem to have.

Both my mother and father grew up without their 'dads' for 2 years. Papa was on Okinawa, Grandpa in occupied France.

I think of my father as the little boy and Papa as the dad when I watch this video.

We're sacrificing our men, women, and children for this invalid war. Those of you who have the audacity to post that this belongs in P&N can go jump off my rather deep cliff.

Well golly, Ms. Teacher, is THAT why there was a camera crew in the room?

whats that have to do with anything?

the thought of a child not seeing his dad for 7 months, and being surprised by him in school, ought to mean something.

the thought of me being gone for that long, and having a son back home without me, hits hard. But its something that'll have to be done. and thankfully at the moment, I have no children.

i'll be the first to jump off that cliff, because some of us don't believe in the BS y'all believe, and would rather keep this thread about the emotions of seeing a loved one that you haven't seen in a long time... NOT about the politics of the situation.

and some of the men, who are over there, sacrificing themselves, view it is a good reason. Actually quite a few do in all honesty. I share that belief. It being an invalid war is your opinion. Keep it that way, and keep it in P&N where political opinions belong.

I believe he was referencing the "Scott Tenerman must die" episode of South Park.

It did get a really cheezy when they replayed everything in slow motion. Cool story though.

I grinned, it was a nice clip. The stock emotional sound clip was kinda silly.

agreed on both counts.

Okay. It's an emotional scene whether there's a uniform or not. So I don't get your point?

I'd be more emotional for household pets in dire circumstances I think. Maybe I'll feel different after I have a kid.

Saw that one before... great vid. :thumbsup:

 

[Mrvile]

Saw this one a while back. :thumbsup:

wow....

I understand a bit, but not alot. When My brother was over there (2 tours) and you heard about a chopper crash, it was always an emotional time, until you heard 1) what kind (he is a Kiowa pilot) and 2) who they were. I've never been so relieved to hear someone died in the war then when it was a Kiowa pilot and I hadn't heard from him yet. He was pretty good to sneak to a phone and call his wife though, and she would call us all quickly and let us know. When he came home, it was an emotional reunion, and we are NOT an emotional family.

Some things just hit you right there, and if you don't get a lump in your throat, you need figure out wtf is wrong with you. One of the hardest things was when we were burying my grandfather (a WW2 vet) and my brother stood there in his dress uniform, saluting the flag on the casket with tears streaming down his face. My older brother has always been the "tough" guy. Makes my eyes well up just thinking about it now, 3 years later. The incredible thing was that Grandpa was very close to him, and always told my mom "I'll just be able to breath when he comes home. Grandpa passed away within 2 hours of his plane lifting off to bring him home.
